In 1980, Jah Shaka cameoed in the film Babylon, an appropriate homage since the film centered around sound system culture (see last post) and, that same year, Jah Shaka had been awarded as having the best sound system around. The film starred actor and musician Brinsley Ford. Ford founded the roots reggae band Aswad who released their debut album Aswad in 1976 on Mango Records.
Here is the discography surrounding Aswad's debut album:
Back to Africa (1976 single)
Three Babylon (1976 single)
Aswad
BBC Sessions (1976 radio session)
John Peel Session (1976 radio session)
"I A Rebel Soul" by Aswad
"Natural Progression" by Aswad
